Option to not show boosts in Local Timeline #1971

Open diogovalentte opened 1 year ago

diogovalentte commented 1 year ago

Pitch

Have an option to not show boosts in Local Timeline as the Home Timeline has.

Motivation

50% of my Local Timeline is only boosts and I wanna a way to not see them.

Hi! Having boosts in the public or local timelines is not the default server-side behavior, so if that is an issue, it may make sense turning that off.

so does that mean that this is a server-side setting that an admin would have to turn off? I don't see any option as a user to turn off boosts in the local timeline

Yes, that would be a server-side option that an admin would have to turn off (well, that the admin has turned on).

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying! Is that an option specific to glitch-soc or is it in vanilla mastodon as well? It would be really cool if that was a user-configurable option as well instead of purely just admin side.

It's a setting specific to glitch-soc. I think having a "Show boosts" toggle for users if that setting is enabled is a good idea.

Would like to plus one on this. Some users would love to see more content but others don't. It would be really nice if it's togglable from user side.

Okay, I actually have such a toggle downstream, so since there is interest in this, I can open a PR to add it to glitch-soc. Note: That toggle only shows up when the server side options are enabled as what is added to public timelines is controlled server side.
